Cornwall - Mar. 21, 2011 - The Cornwall and Area Chamber of Commerce is inviting residents to come in to the outdoors for its annual Spring Home and Leisure Show.
"Our Spring Show is one of the chamber's more popular consumer events," said chamber of commerce executive manager Lezlie Strasser in a press release.
"After months of cold weather, people look forward to visiting the event and checking out the great products and services for their homes and gardens."
Springtime has homeowners thinking about home improvement projects and with over 100 exhibitors taking to the showroom floor, there will be lots to choose from. Exhibitors will be featuring everything from patios, decks, gardens, siding, roofs, gazebos, barbecues and more.
Demonstrations are always a popular feature at the home shows and the 2011 event will be no exception.
Visitors will be treated to cooking demos and taste testings, spring 'mixology,' outdoor entertaining tips and suggestions on how to impress guests with an al-fresco outdoor dining table.
The ever popular Diane Lunan will be on hand to show you how to bring colour to your garden and to create the best window boxes.
For the sports minded, there will be golf demos along with the Indoor Long Drive Championship. Contestants will use a sophisticated simulator to test their swing and perhaps, win a prize.
Kids are not forgotten either with bird house and garden stone workshops.
"Along with the many exhibits, we plan to have some fun with our BBQ Cook-Off," Strasser said. "We're challenging people to bring in their favourite BBQ recipe and throw down the gauntlet to the many competitors."
It will all be in good fun and the top two will win beautiful BBQ packages from Roy's Pools and Budget Propane.
Interested amateur chefs need to register with the chamber by March 31.
Another popular feature of the Spring Home and Leisure Show is the Cornwall Concrete 'Go-To Guys.' Always informative and full of ideas, the 'Go-To Guys' provide all kinds of useful tips for that backyard project.
Cornwall Concrete and the Go-To-Guys are also the show's grand prize sponsor and this year, it is a spectacular, 'one-of-a-kind' BBQ station valued over $8,000.
Along with the grand prize, a number of exhibitors may have draws for various items and the thousands of area citizens who visit the show will have a chance to capture some of them.
The spring show launches on April 8 and continues until April 10 at the Cornwall Civic Complex.
